What I ate today:

Breakfast

with coffee

Late Lunch/Early Dinner

Leftover magic in a curry/soy sauce with a fried egg, homemade pickle, and griddled whole grain toast.

I finally got the hang of maki.

Cooking With Friends

And Sometimes you have to have breakfast and bubbly for dinner...
especially before heading out to some great art openings!

Oatmeal Waffles with fresh fruit and soy whipped cream!

Michelle bathed in light goes for toppings

while Jeff enjoys his custom waffle in the background.

Homemade Pickles!

I LOVE Pickles!

These were really easy refrigerator pickles, no boiling of jars necessary.
I'm still eating them even though I made them about a month ago.
They're are delicious, although maybe a little too spicy (I might leave out the garlic next time)
They turned out nice and crunchy.

Proof!

That not having an oven... or a stove for that matter.. is NO excuse for not eating well!
Behold: Hot Plate Eggplant Parmesan! sort of..
There's no cheese actually.
fried eggplant & polenta
tomato sauce with olives and spinach
YUM!

For my Grand dog , Ben

Grand pop's famous dangerous dog biscuits

GOREmet Mountain Picnic

During my recent visit to Colorado, Megan and I packed some yummy food and hiked up Meadow Mountain (in the GORE mountains......get it?). It was a lovely site, beautiful day, great company. A nice rose` wine, some fresh baked bread, good cheese. What more could you want?
